In recent statemants read before the sessionsof the communist central committee in Moscow, which was at- tended by foreign correspondents, it | was revealed that eight, communist leaders in Petrograd have been. as- sassinated within the last month as the result of plots hatched by terror- ists operating through Finland.

Use Famiue Situation. Soviet officials declare that the white Russians in Paris, Bucharest and Helsingfors are using the famine situation as a lever to instigate up- risings and giving detailed informa-: tion to work under way in those capi- tals. Counter revolutionaries in Paris. they say, are led by Kartoschoft and Antovy, with the former czarist min- ister of finance Kokovtseff as the principal, all being tools in the hands of entente agents. Move From Rumania. It is claimed that the revolution- aries in Finland are led by Prof. Grimm and Prof. Zeidler, former head of the czar's Red Cross. Agents for these organizations contjnue to make their way into Petro#rad through Finland with the Finnish general staff aiding the esplonage system. All these elements had combined on a plan to start a real bloody revolution throughout Russia the last week in August. This scheme was partly re- alized in the formation of a well equipped white Russian corps in Ru- b BOLSHEVIKI FACE | [urre GroRiEs | 'NEW WHITE TERROR| /St BEDTIME A Prisoner in His Own Home. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Look through the elond; see what's behind it. Doing this, you will not mind it. —Striped Chipmunk. \When Striped Chipmunk moves ‘he moves quickly. That is his way. There isn’t ' anything slow about Striped Chipmunk, not a thing. Hav- ing made up his mind that he would Ppeep outside and see' if the great storm was over, he started to scamper along the hall from his bedroom, and because he always kept it clear and clean he scampered -fast. He had gone’but a very little way when he bumped his nose and bumped it hard. “Ouch!” cried Striped Chipmunk. It is a question whether Striped Chipmunk was more hurt than sur- prised. Never before had there been anytliing for him to bump his nose against in that hall. It was hard to believe that there was now. But his aching nose told him that there was. What is was he couldn’t see, for it was dark down there, wholly dark. But he could feel. Very carefully he felt with his hands. “It is a stone, a great big said he, talking to himself for lack of any’one else to talk to. “Now, who could have put that here? When did they do it and what did hey do it for? It is right in my way. It fills the whole of my hali. Ican't get it out.” It was a fact. Striped Chipmunk was a prisoner in his own home. That stone, which was one of the stones of the old wall, had fallen into the hole made by the lightning and the heavy rain had washed in and packed the earth around it. Of course, Striped Chipmunk didn't know this. All he knew was that a stone blocked his way and against it he had bumped his nose. If he wanted to get out he would have to dig his way out. He did want to get out. He wanted to get out right away. He felt that he couldn’t get out quick enough. It frightened him to have such strange things happen, things he couldn’t un- derstand at all. So he started to work as fast as he could make his hands fly to dig out around that stone. You see, he didn't know what a great stone it was. He thought it only a small stone around which he could dig In a few minutes. But he soon found out his mistake. He dug first at one side, then at the | other side, then tried to dig under that stone. Always that stone blocked the way. Striped Chipmunk began to be frightened. It was like being in mania, which, according to reports, has already crossed thes Rumanian frontier into Russia. For the last two weeks this Rumanian movement has been mooted in the newspapers | of the Baltic states gnd reports are even now current in' Riga that the bolsheviki have a strong military force en route to the Rumanian frontier prepared to drive clear into that country should operations against the whites require it. Reports Are Exaggerate It is needless to say that these reports are greatly exaggerated, but at the basis of the flurry there is undoubtedly some real and danser- ous movement of white Russians in Rumania which is bringing soviet circles fi Mbscow to an unusual state of anxiety. During the session of the commun- ist central committee Tuesday night, Mananeff spoke on the work accom- plished in combating the famine, ex- pressing extreme satisfaction of all Soviet circles in the timely arrival |a trap. of Hoover’s organization. pearances, the America; in -Russia has arous To all ap- ed only surface there seems to be running a strong current of suspicion that the Americans may attempt to use the | this really was the reason it fright- relief measures as a political weapon. | cned him so.

Gregory, explaining how he managed |07 to squelch the Bela Kun uprising in Hungary by using his, power as a food distributor and Hoover's influence to drive out the reds. All Americans in the Baltic states decry any tendency to.use the Amer- ican relief forces as a political ‘weapon and join in an appeal to ele- ments engaged in this humanitarian task to confine their work purely to a single drive against the famine. The soviet so far has shown every cour- tesy to the Americans within Russia, but that they will tolerate no politi- cal meddling is shown by the arrest of several members of the recently dissolved Gorki committee. ADOPT NEW HOUSE FLAG. Ships Government Has Taken Over to Sail With Special Emblem. NEW YORK, September 3.—A new house flag, designating a new) Ameri- can shipping organization, will ap- pdar on the high seas with the departure from this port of the steamship George ‘Washington for Europe. The new flag, a white circle on a blue fleld, with the letters “U. S.

CHICAGO, September 3.—An investi- gation of high rents being charged ten- ants resulted in an increased tax as- sessments against a score of landlords. In one case the valuation of a piece of property was raised from $50,000 to $75,000 when it was shown that the owner was recelving $35,000 a year in rentals. —_— 11 MORE POISON CASES. —_— MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., September 3. —Eleven new cases of fungus poisoning have been reported here, making a total of thirty cases in the city. Ten persons in one family are affected. The family of A. C. Willlams of Chicago, occupying a beach cottage, and Council- man Earl Cavert are among the persons stricken. —_— BANKS PORTRAIT HUNG.

Golden Text—The angel of Je- hovah encampeth around about them that fear him, and deliv- ereth them.—Psalms, 34.7. I e BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. Labor Sunday finds us studying an appropriate lesson. Christianity’s message arouses today the same Op- position from the profiteering inter- ests who depended upon the degrada- tion of others for their profits, as it did in Philippi when the owners of the slave girl prosecuted the Aposties after they “saw that the hope of thejr gain was gone.” They still seek to turn public opinion against the serv- tion of the social gospel of the Master curtails their profits by pointing out that “an industrial practice that cramps and devitalizes human beings in body or spirit is as much,a fo of religion as s the traffic in liquors.” Religious and racial prejudices are not yet dead and still play a part in the political life of nations in a man- ner antagonistic to che faith, as in Thessalonica. Only when men turn to the study of the Bible, as they did in Berea, and are guided by its prin- ciples, can the provlems of labor be solved and proper industrial cond tions be established throughout the world Paul’s rescue of the unfortunate girl from the control of Satan and the combine, whose wealth had been de- veloped by their use of her services, resulted in his persecution. Moved by a desire for revenge, the girl's owners arrested Paul and Silas and they dragged them before the two Roman magistrates in the public square, charging that they were dis- turbers of the public peace and teach- ers of an unlawful faith. They had stirred up the multitude against the two religious leaders by their false profession of being desirous of the ci welfare, when they were io- spired by their love for gold. They skilfully appealed to the Roman patriotism of the magiztrates and the hatred of the Jews by the people in their charge of sedition, so that the mob demanded immediate punishment, ithout waiting for an investigation of the truthfulness of the charges. Paul and Silas were imprisoned b: the plebiscite of a mob, whose action: deprived the two missionaries of their constitutional rights as Roman citi- zens. They were flogged by lynch law. althoukh as citizens they were immune; so they were within their rights on the following day when they forced the magistrates to realize their failure to protect them from the decrees of the mob that had or- dered their flogging and imprison- ment. Within the inner prison. which probably was a cave, the two mis- sionaries, whose bodies were covered with blood that flowed from the wounds of the lash which frequently exposed the hones of the victims, were fastened in the stocks. These instru- ments of tortupe strained the limbs very painfully and increased the tor- ture by throwing the weight of the body on the bruised shoulders, yet in- stead of complaining, the two serv- ts of Christ rejoived that they were worthy to suffer for His cause. His grace sustained them, so at midnight, the hour when the church usually met to praise God, they commenced to fill the prison with thetr songs of rejoic- ing and prayers. Prisoners were not the only persons who heard the petitions and praises of the two missionaries, for their Lord. who was watching over in their | | ants of Christ Jesus, whose proclama- & 4upernatural events of life, Paul wai not thinking of the open door to free- dom as much as the one to service, Not 50 the jailer, for he saw the hanc of God fighting the battles of the apostles, 80 after he had made cer- tain that all his prisoners were se- cure, he sought from them the way of salvation. When Paul heard the earnest agonizing request of the jailer, who was “trembling with fear,” lest the wrath of God would be visited upon him in justice and as a penalty for his severe treatment of the two Prisoners, the aupostle = re. Joiced at his sufferings that enabled hini to teach his keeper to “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.” This i the same message that offers hope tc men who, like the jailer, are con- victed of their sin. It involves two central principles of Christianity, a ceptance of Christ as a Savior an obedience of His commands.. He i not only to be received as a redeemer, but as a pattern for all life’s activi- ties. It was upon these conditio that the jafler and his family were saved. He proved his fajth by mini tering unto - the apostles, washing their backs, that had been covercd with blood from their stripes, and then being baptized. After his pro- v’ fession of faith and baptism, the o jailer invited the prisoners into his quarters, where he treated them as honored guests. [ In the morning, when they were offered their freedom, Paul and Silas | determined, for the sake of the dis- | ¢iples, ghat they had won for the 'Lord Jefus, to stand upon their rights as Roman citizens. There, says P. W. Wilson, “was first asserted the habeas corpus act* After they had forced the magistrates to recognize their re- sponsibility for the protection of Roman citizens, they decided to leav. the church, evidently under the care of Luke, since the “we” disappears from the record. They recognized that their stay would result in wan- tonly provoking opposition that would be detrimental to the development of the brethren, whom they called to gether, comforted them and departed [for a new field of endeavor. The church that they left behind was Paul's “joy and crown” The: proved their love and devotion to hiri by generous gifts, 8o that he thanke'| the Lord at every remembrance them. Having established in Philippi - base of supplies that never failed hin: in his efforts to conquer Europe fo: Christ and His Church, Paul pusl his battlefield 100 miles westward Thessalonica, which was the strategi enter selected by the allies duri the world war for their base of ope ations in southern Europe. There modern Salonica, after at least & tw day journey over-the great Roman highway, the travel-stained army of invasion, having passed through An phipollis and Apollonia, where th probably stopped and scattered the seeds of the gospel, entrenched them- selves with the set determination to capture it for Christ. He started, as was his custom, with the synagogue of the Jews, proclaim- ing to those assembled three proposi- tions, which he proved by citations from’ the Old Testament: “First, that the Scriptures showed that the Mes- siah must be a sufferer; secondly, the Messiah must rise from the dead; and, thirdly, the historic Jesus did suffer and rise from the dead, and. there- fore, he is the predicted Messiah.” He clinched his argument by his personal testimony as an evewitness of the reality of Christ's resurrection. He supported himself so that his mis- sionary work was free from being considered in_any way a commercial proposition. His success was so great that it was not long before these three servants , of the Lord were charged with tirning the world up- side down. Their success cut down | | \ trials. not only heard them, but by means of an earthquake He enabled them to triumph over their foes and win a convert in the person of their jailer for His cause. Suddenly an- other sound. not of song, but caused bv the mighty movements of nature that made the earth to tremble, shook the foundations of the prison. and “as it passed along the ground forced the door posts apart from each other, so that the bar slipped from _its 01 and the doors swung open.” The ecarthquake detached the chains and stocks so that the prisoners were un- bound. If the prisoners had not been of a superstitious class they could have taken advantage of the occasion and secured their freedom. The keeper of the prison recognized this by his attempt to take his life. The jailer was saved bv the quickness of Paul. who evidently saw what he was about to do. when he called out to the de- pairing man. “Do thyself no harm. for we are all here.” That note of varping has been heard by many in the history of the world. and it has helped save them as it did the jailer. Paul saw in the earthquake an on- nortunity of winning a soul for His Lord. Wehile he probably recognized that the extraordinary manifestation of nature revealed the power of God. whose activities the. missionary apostle saw in natural as well as the MOHAMMEDANS BUILD MOSQUE IN DETROIT First Edifice of Kind in U.

While the teacher of religion may be free of such charges, yet the mis- sionary has found it advisable in such circumstances to change the basis of operations, so Paul and his associates proceeded to Berea, a distance of about sixty miles, where they opened up a work that was marked by the study of the Seriptures. It 3 one of the happiest periods in Paul's min- { istry. but when the news of his act ties there reached Thessalonica his ene- mies followed him by sending agents to stir_up strife against Paul. This was a_failure, for Paul proceeded to { Athens, leaving Silas and Timothy to care for the Berean church and the one at Thessalonica. | CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS. i FRIENDS. | Friends’ Mezting 811 Eye st n Meeting at 11 a 1. i = {Friends Q00 for_worship. 11 agm.
